Larami pretty much slapped Dick Tracy’s face on anything cop related in 1976 but also went the extra mile and make a toy of one of his most famous crime busting tools. Although I’ve got to say the timing seems a little off, being a kid at the time my sole experience with the character […]
This is what I imagine Brick Mantooth’s back up bedroom looks like.
In this installment, Jason and Brain wax nostalgic over the days when we didn’t get spoiled by three Superhero movies a Summer.

What Mark doesn’t realize is there is few things I like better in this life than…. Weird, homemade Star Wars costume appearances! Oh, I could hug […]
Robo Force was a nicely designed series of Robot Action Figures that seemed to be largely influenced by Star Wars.
